You got everyone marching to the clicks of the ticks on the clock, and your time ain’t even real. ~ Sean King

Enough
I’m smart enough to understand the ancient Hieroglyphs on the wall.
I’ve enjoyed enough blessings to know I’m loved.
Seen enough bad times to stay humble when I’m blessed.
Met enough good people to know the world isn’t as bad as they say.
Experienced enough love to know that it’s worth the risk of being hurt.
Fell down enough to be confident in my ability to get up.
Said goodbye to enough family and friends to know living life is not something that can wait.
Foolish enough to believe dreams come true if you stay true to your dreams.
Appreciative enough to embrace waking up yet another day.
Appreciative enough to understand how beautiful you are.
Appreciative enough to be thankful for your presence in my life.
Man enough to tell you I love you.
Man enough to tell you I love you……
The Best Kind (Freewrite)
The best poetry,
is the kind that’s poured
out of our hearts like libations
The kind that upholds truth
like African Griots
tracing their lineage back to ancient Kings
The kind that fights for the freedom
of the common man
like an unselfish King
who’s passion is giving freely to his people
The best poetry,
is the kind that sings the song of life
over the drumbeat of love
The kind that’s born from the place
where the beat of the heart
intersects with the rhythm of the soul
and the words Tango with our emotions
The kind that’s expressed
with the humble confidence
of a child of God,
driven by purpose
unwavering
relentless
dedicated
and embodied with truth
The best poetry,
is the kind that simply is…
pure
compassionate
hopeful
dreamy
strong
courageous
brave,
and loving
like a mother and her newborn
The best poetry,
is LOVE…
Beautiful sunrises
and breathtaking sunsets
LOVE…
Honeybees
and hummingbirds
LOVE…
Morning breath kisses
and nighttime prayers
LOVE…
just LOVE…
What kind of poetry do I like?
I like the kind that is
LOVE…
